Nurturing Healthy Growth with Paediatric Chiropractic
Your child’s nervous system orchestrates everything – from how they grow and develop to how they learn and play. At Church Road Chiropractic, we understand that children aren’t just small adults. They need specialised care that supports their growing bodies and developing nervous systems. Our gentle, precise approach to pediatric chiropractic care helps ensure your child develops a strong foundation for lifelong health.
Our Gentle Approach
We understand that children require a different touch than adults. Our Paediatric adjustments are
- Those mysterious aches that pop up after a long day at the desk
- Stress-induced tension that's affecting your sleep and mood
- Recovery from car accidents or injuries
Why Children Need Chiropractic Care
Think of your child’s body like a growing tree – the earlier you help it grow straight and strong, the better its foundation for life. Early attention to spinal health helps support proper development and can prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems later.
From birth onward, children's bodies face many challenges
- The birthing process itself can create stress on the spine (with or without interventions)
- Chemical stressors from environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, or poor nutrition impact children’s health
- Poor posture from screen time and heavy backpacks create microtraumas
- Learning to walk, sports and playground activities involves many tumbles and bumps that can misalign the spine
- Mental and emotional stress has been shown to impact children neurologically
Today's children are also facing an increasing number of neurological challenges, including
- ADHD and focus issues
- Sensory processing disorders
- Anxiety and stress responses
- Learning and behavioral challenges
- Coordination and balance concerns
Our gentle adjustments help create a more adaptable, efficient nervous system, which can improve these conditions by
- Reducing nervous system interference
- Supporting better brain-body communication
- Enhancing natural healing and adaptation
- Promoting calmer, more balanced responses
- Improving overall neurological function
Supporting Your Child's Development
Each developmental milestone – from holding up their head to crawling, walking, and beyond – represents a significant neurological advancement. These changes can benefit from gentle chiropractic checks to ensure your child’s nervous system is adapting efficiently.
Even when your child is doing great and doesn’t have any symptoms, we recommend evaluations at key milestones to support proper neurological development.
If you notice any delayed or skipped milestones (such as crawling), we want to address those from a biomechanical and neurological perspective to help your child meet their developmental potential.

I’ve been seeing Dr Gopal for just over six weeks and I can’t believe the difference I have seen. I had lower back pain and pain in the base of my neck. I have finally be able to return to exercising, which has helped me mentally and physically. I feel like I have more flexibility and I haven’t felt any pain for weeks. I am also getting a full nights sleep now! The team at Church Road are always so welcoming, from your very first visit and have always been very understanding when I have needed to rearrange my appointments due to work commitments. Kemi is always upbeat and nothing is too much trouble. The entire team are very professional and I especially appreciate that they don’t rush through any of your appointments. Dr Gopal even takes the time to show you your home exercises to ensure you are doing them correctly. I have also had deep tissue massages as part of my treatment with Elle. She is so knowledgeable. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. I was so skeptical about Chiropractic treatment before seeing the team here but I wish I had done it sooner. My friends and family have noticed such a difference in my mood and energy, I feel like myself again. I will definitely continue to see Dr Gopal and the team frequently. Thank you guys!
